1st Grade Totem Pole Books

Emily, Mrs. Allen's class

The students looked at North Pacific Totem Pole art for inspiration.  They each chose either a bird or a four legged mammal for this project to make the top of their totem pole.  After the sections were constructed and paper mache’, they were painted using specific colors relevant to totem pole art. 

          

After these were sculpted, the students turned their totem pole into an accordion book.   The pages show different animal faces.

They are learning about:

          -Native American art

          -paper mache’

          -totem poles

Elements of Art: line, shape, form, color
